In episode 43, Courtney Elmer and I talk about how a cancer diagnosis completely changed the trajectory of her life, stress, overwhelm, going through the motions, finding what you’re meant to do, slowing down, following one’s heart, work life balance, the word “busy,” the unconscious mind, intuitive eating, sitting with the discomfort, accepting emotions rather than avoiding, and so much more.
“If it didn’t happen, I’m scared to think where I’d be.”
“One of the most common mistakes men and women make is we’ve become accustomed to thinking in order to have more we HAVE to do more… “if we’re not busy, we’re a failure”… this “ideal” version of success… this all or nothing mentality… needs to be fixed. In reality, none of that is true.”
“Stress is not normal, but we think it is.”
“The stress and overwhelm is always an indicator that something deeper is going on.”
“They didn’t make you feel the way you’re feeling. You are choosing to feel that way.”
“Set the intention, not the expectation.”
“Practice doesn’t make perfect, practice is meant to make permanent.”
